Special Operations: Turning The Tables In Korea

Strategy Page ^ | 26 Feb 2017

South Korea has since 2015 been adapting its military organization and strategy to deal with the rapidly changing situation in North Korea. For example South Korea has organized six special operations teams that are trained to attack and destroy key targets inside North Korea. This represents a major change in special operations in Korea because since the 1950s it was North Korea that was constantly sending commandos and spies into South Korea where not all of them were quickly caught or caught at all. At the same time until recently it has proved nearly impossible to get foreign agents into North Korea, which had been turned into the ultimate police state since its creation right after World War II. Since the 1990s the lack of Russian aid (which kept North Korea afloat since the 1950s) caused the North Korean military to gradually (and almost imperceptibly) fall apart. This accelerated because of growing economic problems and corruption, even spreading to the secret police and other security agencies. As a result South Korea considers North Korea vulnerable and is preparing to take advantage of that during the next military emergency. If nothing else it compels the North Koreans to spend a lot more on protecting their nuclear weapons. The latest revision of South Korean strategy specifically mentioned plans to go after nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and key leaders. Much of this will be done with the new strike aircraft (F-15Es) carrying stealthy cruise missiles and smart bombs. South Korea also has obtained more missiles that can hit the North Korean forces concentrated near the border (DMZ or Demilitarized Zone).

There is a lot more on Trumps plate than just demonrat hindering.

I think it might be interesting to see DJT invite NK to a grand peace conference.Of course that could only be done after talks with South Korea's leaders and with the clear understanding that the only way our boomers would be moved from the Northwestern Pacific is if a final agreement was signed.

Prediction:
Trump oversees a “peaceful” reunification of the Koreas. China wins big, The USA wins big, and unified Korea wins big. Kim Jong-un vanishes. That’s the way Trump works.

I’m convinced we could invade North Korea just by promising a ham sandwich to every NK soldier who surrenders.
